I think that school sucks. The teacher too. If a teacher ever even suggested that I bake a WHOLE TURKEY for thanksgiving (being out $50), I would say, Uh, you better count on one of those rotisserie chickens from Sam's that costs $4.95.

Either that, or I'd say, Sure no problem! Just deduct it from next month's tuition check.

I am sick, Sick, SICK to death of schools asking parents for money for stuff left and right. Field trip money! Special Hot Lunch money! Special Event T-Shirt Money! Extra Classroom Decorations Money! Supplies for class parties! Presents for teachers! Take Your Kid OUt To Lunch Day!

I wonder if they're using the term pudding in the British sense? As in, all desserts are called puddings? But then again, why the hell would there be a chicken dessert? You're screwed, either way. You really MUST take a pic or post the recipe to whatever you end up making!

Possessor of roots perpetually in need of a touch up, Anna lives with her two delightfully imperfect children, a charmingly imperfect husband, and a disobedient dog. Her nest is feathered with found objects in need of love. She is a dabbler, skilled in no particular area, but she strives to do more good than harm and live a life of simple faith. Some days are better than others.
